Researcher Support Services

Also see Sensory Research: The Evidence Base   and our SI Research Library .

Sensory Integration Education actively supports the development of the SI evidence base — helping researchers find participants, share their work, and develop their skills. Whether you're a postgraduate student, an early career researcher, or an experienced clinician conducting practice-based research, we'd like to help.

Sensory Integration Education provides practical assistance to support the development of evidence and best practice relating to sensory integration across the lifespan.

We can help with recruiting research participants and disseminating finished research. We aim to build the skills of early career researchers working to contribute to the national and international evidence base for SI.
